Don't leave guests guessing and scratching their heads about how to get into your encrypted home wifi. Leave a handwritten notecard on the bedside table or on the desk so they can log in with ease. While you're at it, add your home address so they can make sure they have it in their phones for when they venture out exploring on their own.
